By patchy color we mean big blocks of color. Hens will have a somewhat smooth, repeating pattern or at least a pattern that blends on their bodies. Roosters will have big PATCHES of color that are very striking, like your Roo. He has patches of white and red.

See how this hens colors blend together? They don't just stop and start.

Now look at this rooster. His hackles are white and his breast is black- pretty striking. This is the patchy color we are referring to. Roosters will have bold colors in PATCHES that don't really connect, like your roo, while hens tend to have colors that blend into one another, or follow a pattern.

if you just said it that way it would have been better because they didn't say patchy color they just said roosters will be light color and be patchy

Who said roosters would be light? I said BRIGHT. As in the opposite of drab. And patchy as in the opposite of smoothly patterned.

light and bright are pretty much the same thing a bright color like what white then a lighter type color is white

Light and bright mean very different things. Light is pale in color, bright is vivid in color. White can be bright if you're talking about comparing two shades of white (laundry product commercials come to mind) but mostly it's a term used for bold colors (are you old enough to remember the neon craze in the 80s?)
